Here it is, the post you have been waiting for,The Royal Wedding. So the plan was to leave at 7 AM and head out to The Mall, but I woke up at 4:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. I think it had part to do with the excitement and part to do with the fact the sun was coming up. The spring brings long hours of daylight. So we ending up leaving our flat at about 6:30. It was pretty crowded by the time we got there, but we actually got a spot close to the road so we could see. I am sure you have all seen it on the news, but here are our pictures of the event.

We were both pretty tired after the processional finished, so we headed home instead of watching the kiss. After we got home we watched the wedding on TV and saw the actual ceremony in Westminster Abbey. It was amazing to be at such a historic event and worth the 5 hours of standing.
OH MY GOSH! So amazing that you were there!! Great pictures!!

ReplyDeleteI DVR'd the whole 8 hour Today Show ordeal and spent most of the time trying to spot you in the crowd but it just wasn't happening. Awesome pictures!
